<<It's been proven that even in some Neanderthal societies, the lame and the sick were nursed along. >> I'm sure you know that the Neanderthals became extinct. We are not their descendents. << Elephant packs help sick elephants by feeding them.>> Maybe so but they make a very small change in the rate of success of these weaker animals. It is not the fact that we show compassion for our weaker brothers and sisters that is unusual it is our success at it that has changed everything. << I'm less worried about the ill or incompetent breeding (we have sufficient abundance to deal with them), than by the evil and intelligent breeding. And those types will always breed like rabbits, producing more generations of evil, intelligent people. Isn't that the bigger threat?>> We have been brought to where we are today [for better or worse ] with the evil and intelligent breeding...[to the brink of nuclear disaster BTW ] But survived ....so far... But the weak [use that term to include all sorts of those unable to survive on their own if you will ]... You say that we have the ware with all to deal with them....for now ...so far...But this success in thwarting natural selection is relatively new. Give it a few more generations as they become a larger and larger percentage of the gene pool. Also wait till the competition heats up...Perhaps from microbes....Keep in mind our reign as top dog has been so short [ time wise ]it's meaningless. BTW I know I will hear it from many on this thread about the moral implications here. But these are just observations on my part not suggestions about breeding a superior race or what have you.....blab bla bla . So you all keep your shirts on. pez
